1. A point cloud encoding method, implemented in an encoder and comprising:
determining a processing order of point cloud data during point cloud encoding, the processing order indicating a coordinate axis processing order of three-dimensional coordinates of the point cloud data and the point cloud data being all or part of data in point cloud;
determining a coordinate-axis-order index corresponding to the processing order;
encoding the coordinate-axis-order index and signalling encoded bits into a bitstream;
processing the point cloud data according to the processing order, to obtain point cloud data to-be-encoded; and
encoding the point cloud data to-be-encoded and signalling encoded bits into the bitstream;
wherein the processing order is any of a Z-Y-X order, an X-Y-Z order, an X-Z-Y order, a Y-Z-X order, a Z-X-Y order, and a Y-X-Z order, and X, Y, Z are coordinate axes of the three-dimensional coordinates of the point cloud data.
